Are You Ready by AC/DC is played in the key of G. Originally recorded in the sounding key of G, 'Are You Ready' by AC/DC is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 2, enabling guitarists to execute friendly F shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The song relies exclusively on open cowboy chords (Dsus2, Cadd9, Gadd13/B, Dadd9/F#, Gadd13, Fmaj13, D5, C5, F5, G5, G/B, D/A), letting beginners concentrate on tone clarity, ringing string resonance, and sustain without encountering demanding barre finger fatigue. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between Dsus2 and Cadd9: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 66 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 92 BPM.
